Governors have begun releasing budget proposals for fiscal 2018, which will begin on July 1, 2017 for 46 states (New York begins its fiscal year on April 1, Texas on September 1, and Alabama and Michigan on October 1). Over the coming months, 47 states will enact a new budget for fiscal 2018, while three states previously enacted budgets covering both fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018. In addition, of the 47 states approving a new budget, 17 will authorize a two-year budget covering both fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019.
